Left early again to avoid the heat. We first went to the Valley of the Kings. We were able to enter three tombs plus King Tuts, King Tuts mummy was there inside. It is hard to believe the paintings are 4,000 years old, if you didn't know any better you might think they were 2 or three. No pictures were allowed in either the Valley of the King or Queens.
Then on to the Valley of the Queens, again very impressive, it is hard to describe and give it justice. It was very hot as usual, then going inside the tombs even more so.
We were able to take some pictures of the Temple of Queen Hatsheput, it was not as amazing as we expected it to be. Maybe it was because we didn't get to see all of it. Also the carvings and colors were not as defined as other temples.
Then back to the ship. Pool side the temp exceeded 120 degrees.
